We have a new Brother

Our baby brother Jackson Wayne was born on Tuesday, March 25th at 3:23 in the afternoon. He is absolutely adorable and Jayden and I love to kiss him and pet his soft head.













We are going to be the best big brothers ever. I want to teach him how to play baseball and Jayden wants to teach him how to do puzzles.

Cars and Snowboarding

Sorry it has been so long since we have updated. I would tell you that it is because we have been so busy that we don't have the time but I think that would be a lie. The real reason is that my Mom and Dad have gotten something they call MySpace and now they won't hardly share the computer with me and my brother. It makes it really hard for me to keep up on my blog.

Well we have been fairly busy as you can see from the pictures I have been going snowboarding. I love it!! My Aunt Emily and I have been taking lessons together and we have learned a lot. I can go up the lift now and can turn heel side very good. I am not to sure about the toe side yet.

















Jayden has been very busy playing with all of his cars. They are definitely one of his favorite pastimes. He can sit and play with them for hours. His favorite one is Chick Hicks from the Disney Cars movie. Well hopefully I will be able to steal some computer time from Mom and Dad and Be able to post more often but we'll see.

Bike Racing in the MUD!

Dad and me had a bike race today. It was a lot of fun. My friend Mason did the kids race with me and we both got real muddy and cold by the time we were done.
This is Mason and me before our race. Jayden stayed in the car and watched a movie the whole time that we were racing.













My hands were like ice cubes when I finally finished. Lucky for me my Dad had brought some of those hot hands that warm up your hands so I warmed right up.
Here is some of the video of Mason and me as we were getting close to the finish line.





I came in 6th place out of seven racers and my Dad got 4th or 5th out of about 30.
Our bikes were covered in mud by the time we got done. Some of the puddles and creeks I had to go through were as deep as my wheels. I crashed a few times but I still finished the race.

Christmas time is here!!!

December at our house is always very busy but we are usually busy doing fun holiday things so nobody seems to mind much. Christmas is mom's favorite time of year so theres always something going on. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went up to cut down our Christmas tree. This was the first year I have been to cut a tree when there wasn't any snow. We didn't get our usual spot either so we had to hunt a little longer than normal to find it. We did find one though and it was fun anyway. I like having all my family there and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows around the fire. Since we had so much to do the next week we decorated it that same night. I helped mom make Christmas cookies and we all slept in the living and watched a Christmas movie like we do every year. Here are some pictures of our Christmas tree day. It was a very full day but still lots of fun.

















Tonight mom and dad took Jay and I out to look at Christmas lights. We packed cookies, got hot chocolate at Dutch Bros. and drove around to look at all the lights that were in the paper for the light contest. It was even more fun than we thought it would be. We got to see Santa twice, pet some llamas that were dressed up as reindeer, and ride the train downtown! Below is a picture of all of us with Santa at the house that won first place. Those of you who live in town should go check out all the lights. Theres lots to see and do! Hope you all are enjoying your holidays as much as we are!

Drum roll please.......

Mom went in for her second ultrasound today and found out that......








Yup, thats right. Were going to have another baby brother. Jayden was very excited. He actually acted like he'd known all along. I was a little disappointed at first but after mom and dad said they might use the name I picked out then I got excited. The doctor said everything looks good and the baby looks healthy. Mom said he was a bit camera shy though and wouldn't let them get a good look at his face, he kept his little hand over his face the whole time. The doctor said she'd try to get a good picture of his face the next time. Well thats our news for today! Hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving!

Pumpkins, Candy, and Road Trips

Well we said we would post again soon so this is the soonest we could get to it. A few weeks back mom and dad took us to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. We met up with Steve, Trish, Zachary and Brenda and their families. It was a very warm day and we had fun hunting for pumpkins and going through the hay maze. Dad even gave us a ride in the pumpkin cart which we get to do every year only this year we had to wait around for a cart because there were so many people there but we finally got one! We each picked out a pumpkin and we got to carve them about a week later. Me and Jayden didn't want to get our hands messy at first but it didn't take long before we were covered in pumpkin goop (and the table and rug). We sure had fun though. Here are some pictures of the pumpkins we carved at home and the pumpkins we carved from dad's work picnic.














We had dad's birthday on the thirtieth and after that was fall festival at our church. I wanted to be a pirate and Jayden was a penguin. Jay told everyone he was Cody Maverick from the surf's up movie. Fall festival was fun. We got to play lots of games and of course get lots of candy. Mom made us trick or treat buckets this year and we filled them twice! What do you think of our costumes? Dad dressed up as an eighties rocker for work. They formed their own eighties band and called themselves the Dialyzers. It was fun dressing up and getting our costumes all covered in chocolate from the candy and cookies we ate.











The very next morning after fall festival we loaded up the car at three in the morning and headed to Mexico to see Nana and Papa. It was their wedding anniversary and they renewed their wedding vows. We had a ceremony and a big party and all the family was there. It was lots of fun. And let me tell you they really know how to throw a party in Mexico. There was lots of good food. We had Birria which is chicken and potatoes with red sauce and fresh homemade beans, rice and tortillas. They also made this yummy spicy, sweet rice drink called Horchata. It was very good. Then there was lots of music. Jayden loved it and he and our cousin Michael got up on stage and danced with all the Mexican kids. The next day we went to the beach for a barbecue and mom, dad and papa took us over to Belmont Park which is a little amusement park on the beach. Papa bought us tickets to ride the rides and we got to ride all the kid rides in the park. Some more than once! Well this ended up a very long post which I guess might be ok since we never know how long it will be before mom and dad decide to post again. Hope everyone is enjoying their fall season!

A six year old, a buck, and a baby

Well I know its late in posting this but..... I had my sixth birthday a couple weeks ago! I wanted to have a baseball party so mom made me a baseball cake and we had a baseball pinata and went to the park with all my friends. It was lots of fun. I even got my own full size skateboard from my friend Andrea which I thought was very cool. Then on my actual birthday mom made me breakfast in bed like always and I got to have chocolate chip pancakes. She told me she would make me anything I wanted for dinner so guess what I picked. My favorite food: more pancakes!Being six means I don't have to ride in a carseat anymore which I was more excited about than anything. Although now that I know what its like to go without one I actually still like to use it because it makes me taller so I can see out the window.










Also, I thought you might want to see pictures of dad and Uncle Brian's bucks that they killed this year. Now we once again have a freezer full of deer meat and I really like it when mom makes venison steak for dinner. Below is a picture of our new baby. It was thirteen weeks old when the picture was taken and mom says its almost eighteen weeks now so shes guessing its grown at least two inches since then. I've noticed mom's belly has gotten bigger so I'm guessing she's right! Well we have lots more to post about so hopefully mom and dad will put up some more real soon.
